Box: The next day---Wandsworth Road Coach Horse Stable
SFX: *Flash*
Joe: Something ate its internal organs…
Exactly like a carnivore would do to its prey…
Maybe what Arago said about it being a tiger or polar bear wasn’t so farfetched after all…
Do you think someone should check with the zoo!?
SFX: Urrr…
Keh…
*Glance*
Arago: Three huge coach horses…it has to be him again!!
If I hadn’t let him get away…
Joe: Arago, let’s go see the witness.

Page 4:
Witness: Around midnight I heard this noise coming from the stables, so I went to go check...
Th, that’s when I saw this black shadow eating the horse’s insides…
It was practically three meters tall!! It was almost touching the ceiling…
When I opened my mouth it just glared at me…
I’m, I’m telling the truth! I saw it with my own eyes!!
Joe: Of course, please continue.
Witness: I, it just took one look at me and left…
I thought it was going to kill me…
Arago: …….
Ghari: Master, it’s that werewolf again, isn’t it?
Isn’t there anyway to stop him…
Well it’s good that a human hasn’t died yet…
Arago: I wonder…

Page 5:
I’ve been thinking about this for a while…
Me, the guy from the stables, the store owner…why didn’t he finish any of us off?
I don’t think the werewolf was just after food…
He never went after humans directly, he only attacked the people who got in his way…
Bending the hunting rifle…
And leaving as soon as Brionac disappeared…
Was he really just defending himself?
…in that case…
…Alright, time to start some werewolf counter-measures…
Ghari: Werewolf counter-measures…?

Page 6:
Boxing!?
Gym owner(?): Hi there. Are you here to sign up?
Arago: No, but would it be alright if I sparred here?
Gym owner(?): Be my guest. You should gain a lot of experience fighting some of our students.
Arago: Got ya! I’ll pay however much the introductory course fee is,
So send in the quickest ones from your lightweight class.
Gym owner: Hey! Wait a minute!
Ghari: Master, what are you messing around here for?
This is your werewolf counter-measure!?
Arago: I’m not messing around, I’m completely serious!
I consider lightweight boxers the fastest people in the world.
Getting around their jabs is even harder than dodging a bullet.

Page 7:
Boxer: Hey, get out of the ring.
Arago: Oh!
The minimal weight European Champ, Colin Barry!!
You’re famous!!!
Hey, how about sparring with me?
This is a rare chance for you to actually hit a police officer.
Boxer: Get this guy some gloves and head gear.
This type of guy, he won’t understand unless you beat it into him.
I’ll accept your challenge, we’ll have on round.
But I doubt you’ll last more than three minutes…
Arago: Who ever said I’d be fighting just you?

Page 8:
Bring in another three guys!!
---Thanks for the match---
Boxers: He, he was all worn out during the first half…
But then he recovered right away…
SFX: *Pant*
And during the second half, we couldn’t land a hit on him…how in the hell…!?
Hey…! Stop that man from before!
With that talent, we’ll take the world by storm!!
Arago: Well, step one’s finished…Next stop…
SFX: *Sigh*

Page 9:
Please!!
Lend me some money!!
Rio: What? Why are you putting your hand together like that!?
Arago: That’s what’s you do.
Rio: No I don’t!
Arago: I have to run an errand for the investigation, but I can’t submit an investigation expense application…
Rio: What’s with that!? What kind of weird errand are you running?
Oh fine…but you better pay me back.
Coco: This is everything I have! Take as much as you need!
Arago: I owe you one!
Seth: I’ll be charging you 10% interest per day.
Arago: ………

Page 10:
Hey old man, give me as much meat as I can buy with this much money!!
I’ll take some beef, poultry, pork, and mutton.
And throw in the organs too.
Butcher: Sure thing, you having some kind of barbecue party?
Arago: A party……
Yeah, something like that…
Alright, everything’s ready!!
Just you wait werewolf!

SFX: *Sniff*
*Sniff*
*Grrrr*
Arago: Yo,
The smell of all this meat to lure you out…
And an empty soccer stadium!!
I set this whole stage up just for you!!

Page 14:
SFX: *Roar*
Ghari: Ma, master…is the werewolf mad about something?
Arago: Yeah, he looks pretty ticked off, doesn’t he?
Probably because some guy he’s already defeated is right in front of him again, alive and kicking.
So let’s settle this once and for all.
These chains will make sure that we don’t try to run, only the survivor walks away.
You understand? This is the kind of dueling from your time.

Page 15:
Ha, that’s what I thought. This is what you were after all along!
It’s a battle of fists from here on out!!
Who’ll be the last one standing…
